Boys and Girls! Pictorial History to be published peter Elliott and Elinor Barr study the photograph collection at the Terrace Bay Public Library. The collection was of the Jackfish area from years gone by. As part of the Bi- centennial celebration in northern Ontario, ,at- tempts are being made to publish as_ pictorial history. Ms. Elinor Barr, a noted Northwestern Ontario historian and author, is currently tra- velling throughout this vast country of ours, gathering up photogra- phic materials and inter- esting trivia suitable for such a publication. Ms. Barr was in Ter- race Bay and Schrei- ber last Wednesday, talking to and listening to various people in the two towns, who could help her locate such material. With her was her counterpart, Peter Elliott from Toronto who is the exhibit photo- grapher for the book and archive collection. While they essentially tely on corporate and media archives museum collections or material held by historical so- cieties, Elinor is inter- ested in viewing col- lections held by indivi- © duals of the various communities. The Ministry of Northern Affairs is sponsoring this publica- tion and it is hoped that the end result will be- come a 'coffee-table' pictorial edition, pub- lished by early summer of 1984. If anyone in the sur- rounding communities have any data or inter- esting material, they are asked to contact Ms. Barr through their near- est Northern Affairs of- ficer who is Jane E. Greer in Marathon. The ministry offices have been designated as drop-off points for ma- terial being donated or loaned for considera- tion. If you don't wish your precious docu- ments or photos to be lent out, then Peter EI- liott will reproduce them on the spot. Let's make 1984 a year to remember. And let's show the other communities throughout the northwest that we too can account for our splendid history. If you are unsure of just exact- ly it is that Elinor is looking for, then contact us at the '""NEWS"' or else Jane Greer at the Northern Affairs of- fice (Zenith 33160).
